<h2>Steps:</h2>

So firstly, this function is asking us to divide f(x) by g(x) so let's set that up as such:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x^2-x-6}{1}\div \frac{x-3}{x+2}$

Next, remember that <u>dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.</u> To find the reciprocal of a number, flip the numerator and denominator around. With this info, flip the second fraction to it's reciprocal and change the sign to multiplication:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x^2-x-6}{1}\times \frac{x+2}{x-3}$

Next, we are going to factor x² - x - 6. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -6x² and a sum of -x? That would be -3x and 2x. Replace -x with 2x - 3x:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x^2+2x-3x-6}{1}\times \frac{x+2}{x-3}$

Next, factor x² + 2x and -3x - 6 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside of the parentheses:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x(x+2)-3(x+2)}{1}\times \frac{x+2}{x-3}$

Now you can rewrite it as:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{(x-3)(x+2)}{1}\times \frac{x+2}{x-3}$

Next, multiply:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{(x-3)(x+2)^2}{x-3}$

Next, divide:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=(x+2)^2$

And lastly, simplify:

A good tip: $(x+y)^2=x^2+2xy+y^2$

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=x^2+4x+4$

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The correct option is C. x² + 4x + 4.</u>

Help on question 30!!

Basile [38]

The given identity tells you ...
.. (sum of numbers) * (sum of squares - product) = (sum of cubes)

Substituting the given information, you have
.. (sum of numbers) * (29 -10) = 133
Then you can divide by (29 -10) to get
.. sum of numbers = 133/19 = 7

The sum of the two numbers is 7.
